Ideas on how to use Wikispaces in the Classroom
  • Build a story by having each student add to the existing story line.
  • Build a wiki about the seven continents. After reviewing, each continent ask students to post two facts about what they have learned.
  • For a grammar lesson, have the students edit a paragraph inserting all punctuation and capitalization.
  • For any Middle or Upper Division written project, this is a great place for students to save and collaborate on work.
  • Continuous updating of curriculum and lesson plans.
  • Sharing ideas between grade levels and divisions.
  • K-1: Create an animal alphabet wiki
  • Elementary grades create a spelling wiki that could become a virtual word wall.
  • Create a classroom Wiki to communicate with parents and teachers. A teacher can use a Wiki to list homework assignments, grades, lessons. class pictures, class news letters, etc. The teacher can also create a classroom wiki for students to write daily reflection and attach links for the classroom blog.
